Entrepreneurial Competencies, Innovation Enablers and Sustainable Competitive Advantage Among Micro Firms Across Cultures: A Comparative Study of Canada and Malaysia

Recent research on start-up businesses has drawn attention to the central importance of sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) by accelerating the continuous development of entrepreneurial competencies (EC) through bridging the mediating and moderating peer relationships for entrepreneurial success. Such peer relationships among innovation enablers (IE), government support (GS) and competitive intelligence awareness (CIA) are vital in connecting EC to achieve SCA. However, prior studies scantily emphasized the causal linkages between two different contexts, particularly Canada and Malaysia. This study unpacks the black box of peer relationships contributing to EC and sustainable growth. We espoused a deductive approach with a quantitative methodology using SPSS AMOS version 22 for measurements to address the gaps in the entrepreneurship literature. The dataset comprises 750 respondents from micro-sized wholesale, retail and service firms with 1–3 employees, evenly split between Malaysia and Canada. The empirical sample results show that for Canadian entrepreneurs, the direct effect of EC has a positive and significant influence on SCA, but is negatively and significantly associated in the Malaysian context. Moreover, the CIA had a positive and significant moderating effect on the relationship between EC and IE in both Canadian and Malaysian samples. However, the CIA moderating effect on the relationship between EC and SCA is only positive and significant in the Canadian sample and insignificant in the Malaysian context. Lastly, the moderating effect of GS on the relationship between EC and SCA is positive and significant in the Canadian sample and insignificant in the Malaysian sample. These findings also offer practical clarity to the puzzle of how some EC can become the cornerstone of these firms’ sustainable growth by adopting IE in conjunction with CIA and GS.

The problems of training future teachers of vocational education in the context of post-war economic recovery in Ukraine

The research analyzed the key issues of preparing future vocational education teachers for the economic recovery of Ukraine, particularly emphasizing the relevance and necessity of ensuring the economic component of their pedagogical training for the further development of entrepreneurial competence of students in vocational education, which will meet the state's needs during the post-war period in qualified specialists and workers. In the process of scientific research, a set of problems of preparing future vocational education teachers for professional activities in the context of post-war recovery of Ukraine was identified, particularly emphasizing the need for systematic updating of the content of pedagogical training taking into account the socio-economic factors that influence the labor market and determine the content of economic components of educational programs in vocational education. The research utilized methods such as analysis of scientific-pedagogical and socio-economic literature, periodicals, monographs; study of state standards, legislation in the field of education, qualification frameworks, concepts of competency-based approach, strategies for post-war recovery, etc., systematization of research results; interviews with specialists from the Ministry of Education, teachers in vocational education, educators and masters; pedagogical observations, and more. The author identified and justified the relevance of a number of key issues in preparing future teachers in preliminary higher and vocational education considering the economic component of pedagogical training, and also planned perspectives for further research on the readiness of future teachers to carry out their professional activities at the sufficient level, taking into account the modern requirements of the labor market for qualified specialists and workers, as well as the socio-economic factors in the country during the period of post-war recovery

АКТУАЛЬНІ НАПРЯМИ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ПРОБЛЕМИ РОЗВИТКУ ПІДПРИЄМНИЦЬКОЇ КОМПЕТЕНТНОСТІ МАЙБУТНІХ ДИЗАЙНЕРІВ-ГРАФІКІВ

The article is devoted to the problem of developing the entrepreneurial competence of future specialists in graphic design, as well as the analysis of the current state of professional training in higher education institutions. The author draws attention to insufficient motivation of students for professional and entrepreneurial training. A significant part of future designers are not sufficiently aware that the development of entrepreneurial competence is a path to self-affirmation, self-employment, and a successful career in professional activity. The researcher explains this phenomenon by the contradiction between the current system of training a future graphic designer, which is not sufficiently focused on the development of the future professionals' need for continuous professional development, and the specificity of the artistic profession, in the essence of which is the need to "create" oneself and "predict" one's own professional activity, constant creative self-development Offers special attention to the creation of pedagogical conditions that enable the growth of the level of development of entrepreneurial competence of graphic designers.

The place of the higher education system in the innovation sphere in solving the problem of staffing the innovative economy. Part II

This article continues the study of the Innovation sphere role in the higher education system for innovative economy personnel training. It is devoted to the problem of the network project-based learning development within the framework of the entrepreneurial university model implementation. The core of the problem is development of entrepreneurial competencies in technical universities to promote technological startups through usage of expertise acquired by the Innovation students. The following article, as well as the previous one, is based on Basadur simplex method to find a range of factors which contribute to the solution of non-standard management problems. Identification of barriers to interaction is the most important factor in the development of a successful collaboration. Barriers of insufficient acquaintance with a partner, or low innovation susceptibility to the collaboration, are considered serious. The purpose of the study is to determine the external factors of innovative susceptibility to network interaction by universities that provide innovations. Low demand in the labour market is said to be the main barrier to the innovative susceptibility towards an innovation manager. There is no standardisation of his activity under the conditions of a high role of the Russian labour market regulation aspect. As a result, the author’s vision of key requirements set for the development of professional innovation standards is proposed to promote the innovation manager and increase innovative susceptibility of the market to his qualification level.

The EntreComp Framework in Practice: A Case Study Linking Employability, Entrepreneurship, and Regional Development

The objective of this study is to explore the interconnections among three pertinent topics in contemporary public policy, particularly within the European context: employability, entrepreneurship, and regional development. Initially, we conduct a bibliometric analysis to identify the primary trends in this field. Subsequently, we present and analyze a case study, namely the Innovation and Talent Retour Program (PIRT 2022), which is a public initiative aimed at attracting university graduates with prior international experience. This program is part of the Entrepreneurial Culture Programs offered by the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, located in Spain. By employing a questionnaire based on the EntreComp framework and involving a sample of university graduates’ beneficiaries of the program, we validate the measurement scale and investigate whether this project contributes to the development of entrepreneurial competencies among the participants. The insights gained from the obtained results inform future programs within the region, as well as other regions undergoing similar processes. This study delves into the theoretical and practical aspects of the role played by universities as key agents in fostering the sustainability of their respective territories. It is concluded that higher education must even assume a more proactive role in the future concerning the employability of its graduates and the overall development of the surrounding region in which it is located.

The influencing factors of personality that affect entrepreneurship development among people with disabilities

PurposeEntrepreneurial personalities have been widely recognised as important drivers for the development of entrepreneurial competencies, which are the skills, knowledge and abilities that enable entrepreneurs to start and grow successful businesses. Yet, there has been relatively little research focused specifically on entrepreneurial personalities that influence entrepreneurial competencies among people with physical disabilities. Therefore, this study aims to explore the entrepreneurial personalities among people with disabilities (PWDs) and explain how they influence several aspects of entrepreneurial capabilities.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach, namely, phenomenological approach, has been conducted; meanwhile, a total of 12 respondents were interviewed as the data has reached the saturation level.FindingsThe findings revealed that successful PWDs entrepreneurs possess a range of traits and characteristics that contribute to their success, which include need for achievement, internal drives, external factors, extraversion and openness. These factors drive the enhancement of the PWDs’ entrepreneurial capabilities.Originality/valueEssentially, this study is one of the few studies that suggests that an integrative personality model influences PWDs’ entrepreneurial capabilities and their business development. This model takes into account the unique experiences and challenges faced by PWDs, which help to better understand the traits and characteristics that contribute to their success as entrepreneurs.

Demonstration Exam in Continuing Entrepreneurial Education within the VET and HE Systems

Achieving the national development goals of the Russian Federation and maintaining the sustainability of the economy in the face of sanctions pressure impose special requirements on the development of entrepreneurial competencies among students of postsecondary education. One of the key innovations of the last decade in the field of entrepreneurial education in Russia was the introduction of a demonstration exam (DE) based on WorldSkills Russia methodology. Its results reveal high heterogeneity in the quality of entrepreneurial competencies acquisition among the students. Meanwhile, the experience of educational organizations that effectively cope with mass preparation for DE has not yet been sufficiently studied. Moreover, the specifics of the formation of entrepreneurial competencies in VET have not been studied, despite the steady growth in the share of college graduates in the university applicant base. In order to ensure the continuity of entrepreneurial education for students studying along the VET–HE trajectory, as well as to study the best practices for the formation of entrepreneurial competencies in the prism of DE, qualitative research of the search type was implemented.The study was carried out based on qualitative methodology. Within its framework, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with expert teachers from four educational institutions with the highest results in the DE. For the triangulation? The data also included 4 in-depth semi-structured interviews with VET students who have successful experience in confirming the results of mastered entrepreneurial competencies. The interview analysis was based on a mixed approach.Structural and procedural components are identified and described, showing ways to integrate entrepreneurial education into traditional VET and to create a comprehensive educational environment. Interactive components used in teaching and learning entrepreneurship are investigated. According to the research results, as in the case of leading foreign practices, the best domestic practices are characterized by the use of constructivist pedagogy, while the key teaching method is long-term interdisciplinary student projects. The specificity of the formation of entrepreneurial competencies in VET has been revealed – this is a practice orientation and an orientation towards routine entrepreneurship.The results obtained can be used by practitioners to improve the quality of entrepreneurial education in VET schools.

문화예술 기업가적 역량 계발을 위한 이론적 모델 연구

This research aims to establish a framework for cultivating entrepreneurial skills in the arts and cultural sector. Viewing entrepreneurship as a skill that can be nurtured through targeted education and training, the study identifies specific skill sets relevant to arts and cultural entrepreneurship and proposes suitable course content for such education. To achieve this, a qualitative meta-analysis and additional content analysis of a broad spectrum of arts and cultural entrepreneurship research were conducted to compare and amalgamate infrequently cited entrepreneurial competencies. As a result, the study presents the creation of 'contextual competencies' and 'situational competencies' models. Based on these models, we suggest structuring educational content across three aspects: imparting “knowledge” about entrepreneurial practices, honing “skills” for executing entrepreneurial actions, and nurturing enduring entrepreneurial “attitudes”. The research ultimately offers a model for the development of entrepreneurial competencies in the arts and cultural sector, emphasizing the relationship between educational outcomes, objectives, and content. This model underscores the need for educational goals centered on the development of entrepreneurial skills in the arts and culture, and for the provision of contextual and situational competencies as educational content to foster competency-based learning among students. This model is intended to serve as a preliminary tool for understanding arts and cultural entrepreneurial skills and as a guide for the creation of arts and cultural entrepreneurship education programs.

Entrepreneurial Competence Development Program: Implementing Efficiency through Knowledge Sharing

The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of introducing methods used in other countries on student success. The results suggested that the introduction of specific practices to improve entrepreneurial competence would be more effective forgoing such special training methods. This was validated by the results of a test survey conducted by an expert panel. According to the panel, the quality of knowledge among students in the groups in which new methods were introduced was as follows: 7.5 points on average out of 10 for the first group; 7.9 points on average out of 10 for the second group; 7.8 points on average out of 10 for the third group; and 6.4 points on average out of 10 for the fourth group. These data suggest that new practices improve students’ knowledge and skills. The students themselves also assessed the improvement in their quality of knowledge. More specifically, the students in the second group gave a very high average score of 4.4 out of a possible 5 for the effectiveness of the European methods. The same parameter was rated 3.4 out of 5 points by the fourth group.
